The 7th Annual BYC Easter Hatch-A-Long!

[Eps32]

So the new brooder I'd almost done. I ran out of hardware cloth to do the sides. So I'm going to lowes today to get some and a few other things to hang lights and waters. I happy with it I guess doing it by myself was annoying. But for not having all the right power tools I needed. I think it came out pretty good. It rained last night the inside is bone dry so happy about that. But I feel like iv done better just getting old I guess. But I think the 3 week olds will love it.

Ordered me a small coop kit at a great discount price- it was delivered totally smashed!

I hate FedEx. Not my first issue with them and I am sure not the last. Company is offering a replacement, but I don't want to deal with FedEx again!

Very sweet!! I like the gray and white!

I do, I do, I do!!

Ron (and others) always say "SET ALL THE EGGS!!"

So I ALL THE EGGS!!! Every last one I get.
I follow instruction VERY well.

But in all seriousness, I do actually set all my eggs...lol.

And yes, I have broken down and bought store eggs. (Hey...we was making pizza...who doesn't want pizza??)
I'd "like" to have some girls who aren't being fertilized so I wouldn't be able to set them. Unfortunately I don't.

But I don't like the store bought either...too many porous eggs.

I know too much about eggs now.

Here's my 'bator right now...

2 dozen purchased
2.5 dozen of my eggs




I need more of these...

I was thinking of hatching some of those. I do not like dark meat. How do they taste? We want both meat and eggs.

Never had an A&M

I'll let you know in about 2 months. Mine are just hatching now.
